How to watch Wednesday’s Mets-Phillies game, which will be broadcast exclusively on Facebook

The Mets and Phillies were scheduled to face off Wednesday at 1:10 p.m. at Citi Field (although they are currently in a delay), and fans looking to watch the game will only be able to stream it via Facebook.

In early March, MLB agreed to terms with the social media giant on a deal that will broadcast 25 games this season exclusively on Facebook Watch. Most of the games are on Wednesday afternoons. Mets-Phillies will be the first of these 25 games to air on Facebook.

This will be MLB's first digital-only broadcast. The league announced in March that the Facebook Watch streams will have enhanced features and digital tools. We'll find out tomorrow what those are.
